Trump Wraps up Gulf Tour with AI, Energy and Business Deals
- President Donald Trump concluded his Gulf tour in May 2025 with over $2 trillion secured in AI, energy, and defense deals across Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE.
- The deals stem from Trump's meetings with Gulf leaders, including Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Emir Sheikh Tamim, amid efforts to boost U.S.-Gulf economic and technological ties.
- Key agreements include Saudi Arabia’s $142 billion arms deal for missiles and jets countering Iran, Qatar’s $243 billion pledge featuring 160 Boeing jets, and the UAE’s $1.4 trillion decade-long investment including a $200 billion Nvidia-powered AI campus.
- Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called the sensitive AI chip exports "dangerous," citing risks of Chinese access, while tech figures like OpenAI CEO Sam Altman defended the deals as smart strategic moves.
- These agreements mark a strategic U.S.-Gulf alliance aiming to reshape regional influence through AI-driven growth but face challenges from regional tensions and ethical concerns.
